Kennedy and Mack are in a tough spot. Their squads need them to do it all, but NBA teams are dipping into the D-League for specialists. They have their stars.

They want someone who can run a team, hit the open shot, rebound like crazy or defend like nobody's business.

So while Kennedy and Mack are in the Top 10, Sims might get an NBA call-up before them.

At 6 feet 10 inches and 245 pounds, Sims can knock down the open jump shot from 15 to 18 feet. He's averaging 16.4 points and 8.6 rebounds, and shooting 50.5 percent from the field.

Sims plays with an attitude, is tough physically and has finesse to his game.

So keep an eye on this.

You can even borrow my goggles if you like.
